Kanchanjunga is the third tallest peak of the world at a soaring height of 8,586 m.

Alike all mountains in Nepal Kanchanjunga also carries a huge religious value and worshipped by the inhabitants residing in the surroundings of the mountains.

The range’s five highest mountains consists of Kanchanjunga main (8,586m), Kanchanjunga west (8,505), Kanchanjunga central (8,482), Kanchanjunga south (8,494), Kangbachen (7,903) all majestic peaks situated a little south of the great Himalayan range is also famous for its radiating glaciers contributing into rivers. The main ridge of the massif runs from north-north-east to south-south-west and forms a watershed to several rivers.

The expedition is a pretty long expedition as Kanchanjunga is a widest spread mountain range. The expedition includes straight paths, some stiff escalation, some steep bends and descend, some ridges impossible to cross without the support of mountaineering tools.
